Brown beauties Sanaa Lathan, Gabrielle Union, Joy Bryant, and Zoe Saldana showed up to the launch of the Rogan for Target GO International Line at Barney's. Don't ask me why Target was launching a clothing line at Barney's. It seems sort of self-hating.

Chris Brown's major, Target-sponsored record release bash went down last night at NYC's Tenjune. And, just for you, I stood outside, shoving my microphone in famous (in some cases, I use the term loosely) peoples' faces as the winds from the Hudson River froze my extremities. You'll see Styles P, Keith Robinson of Dreamgirls fame, who also stars in This Christmas with the man of honor, BET's Egypt, Kat Deluna, Nik from season 5 of America's Next Top Model, Melyssa Ford, a boisterous Petey Pablo, two-thirds of TGT (that's the two T's, Tank and Tyrese*), and, while you'll see Chris Brown, you won't actually hear from him. According to the publicists, he needed to rest his voice. Whatever, divo!

*My opinions about the supergroup softened after witnessing their enthusiasm.
